Jesus Predicts the Destruction of the Temple

5 aThen, as some spoke of the temple, how it was1 adorned with beautiful stones and donations, He said,  
6 “These things which you see—the days will come in which anot one stone shall be left upon another that shall not be thrown down.”  

The Signs of the Times and the End of the Age

7 So they asked Him, saying, “Teacher, but when will these things be? And what sign will there be when these things are about to take place?”
8 And He said: a“Take heed that you not be deceived. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am He,’ and, ‘The time has drawn near.’1 Therefore do not go after them.  
9 But when you hear of awars and commotions, do not be terrified; for these things must come to pass first, but the end will not come immediately.”  
10 aThen He said to them, “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.  
11 And there will be great aearthquakes in various places, and famines and pestilences; and there will be fearful sights and great signs from heaven.  
12 aBut before all these things, they will lay their hands on you and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and bprisons. cYou will be brought before kings and rulers dfor My name’s sake.  
13 But ait will turn out for you as an occasion for testimony.

What Does Luke 21:7 Mean?



Luke 21:7-28

In verses 7-19, Jesus informs us about the visible signs of world events which signal that the end is near. In verses 20-24, He is still talking about these visible signs, but specifically about those that involve Jerusalem. Verses 25-28 describe the cataclysmic events in the sky and on the earth, heralding His imminent return. Thus, through verse 28, our Savior reveals to us the events presaging His return in the world (verses 7-19), in Jerusalem (verses 20-24), and in the sky and earth (verses 25-28).
